Climate Change and Landscape in the Canadian Rocky Mountains (CON 25)
Climate change is a prominent issue today. Its physical effects together with political initiatives to ameliorate human-induced climate change will affect the social and economic lives of us all. This book explains the science on which climate interpretations are based. It describes the global and local sources of paleoclimate information, how climate changes are dated, and how this information is used to reconstruct the Ice Age climate history of the Canadian Rockies over the last 30,000 years.

Geology of the Calgary Area (S24)
The authors of this book hope to acquaint the reader, amateur or professional, with a variety of aspects of the geological history of Calgary and surrounding area. The first two chapters discuss the concept of geologic time and the principles of geology necessary to read the rock record. The ten chapters discuss the geology and geomorphology of a broad area, extending from Banff to Drumheller. Sections on geologic hazards and the archaeology round out the book. A glossary of technical terms is included in the back of the book.

The Devonian of Western Canada - Aspects of a Carbonate Petroleum System, HARD COVER of Volume 49, #1 of the Bulletin of Canadain Petroleum Geology (S57)
A series of papers highlighting various aspects of Devonian (emphasizing the Frasnian) carbonate rocks of the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin, each describing different- yet related- components of the Devonian hydrocarbon system. These include: stratigraphy, basin tectonics and structure, hydrocarbon source systems, remaining hydrocarbon potential, pool depletion methods.

CD ROM - Dolomites: The Spectrum: Mechanisms, Models, Reservoir Development(S63)
Abstracts of Seminar Presentations, Core Displays and Posters
On Jan 13th through 15th 2004, the CSPG staged a very successful and informative conference entitled "Dolomites - The Spectrum: Mechanisms, Models and Reservoir Development. Out of the one day seminar and the following two days of core conference, there has emerged an extremely useful collection of papers. The proceedings compact disc volume comprises 40 abstracts and short papers. Of these, 27 are short papers (averaging 20 pages each) that represent fully illustrated case histories of dolomitized subsurface reservoirs, mostly from the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin. The subsurface case histories follow a standard format to facilitate easy cross-referencing and subject searching. They range from the Silurian Interlake to the Triassic Baldonnel and include such major fields as Ladyfern, Dunvegan, Clarke Lake, Crossfield, and Simonette. The remainder of the papers deal with basic models and constraints, specific dolomitization mechanisms, outcrop examples, reaction-transport modelling, and petrographic techniques. Prior to purchasing you may view both the Core Conference Abstracts and the Seminar Abstracts.
